Chapter 286
Bogus Billionaire
Layla was in high spirits now, so she didnât blame Vivian for it. âItâs fine. Fil get to see her expression tomorrow Vivian instantly got what she meant and went with the flow. âI shall congratulate you first, then, Ms.
Laylaâ
Layla was quite pleased to hear that and said, âDonât worry. Your work wonât be forgollenâ
âUmâ¦â Vivian started but paused for a moment.
âI actually wanted to talk to you about something.â
âWhat is it?â Layla asked.
âItâs confirmed that the company will make me their design director,â Vivian told her, deliberately omitting the detail that the position was temporary.
âOkay. What do you want, then?â asked Layla, en?â asked Layla, âYouâre smart.â Vivian smiled.
âSince Evans Group focuses primarily on the clothing Industry, youâll surely need someone to help with the designs. I was thinking that perhapsâ¦
She didnât need to say more, for Layla knew exactly what she wanted and said, âThat is not a problemn.â
She smiled, enjoying how she could flaunt her position. Assigning Vivian some work in private wasnât that big of a deal anyway.
âHow about you come and meet me at around 2:00 pm alter the electionâs over? Iâll give you something to work on then.â
âSure!â Vivan was grateful enough for that. âThank you, Ms. CEO.â
Layla waved a hand in the air to dismiss her. âAs long as you work for me, thereâll never be an end to the work I can give you.
Rest assured that your pay will certainly be higher than what Thorne Corp could ever offer.â
Vivian ended the call after thanking her over and over again.
Meanwhile, Caroline was suddenly reminded of Layla and the strange disease she had contracted.
Plucking out her phone, Caroline gave Sean a call. âSean, did you get any clues about what I asked you to look into?â
Sean glanced at the man who sat tied up on a chair. âAre you talking about Laylaâs condition?â
The man shuddered when he heard what Sean said.
âDonât worry. I got it figured out,â said Sean, and the man on the chair paled.
Sean glanced at him again and decided to stop questioning the man. He left the basement with his phone.
âIâve looked into it thoroughly. Layla had bribed the doctors who work for the Morrisons. Since money was involved and they knew there was something between Eddy and her, they agreed to help her lle to him.â
âAll the reports have been tampered with,â he added.
Caroline shuddered at his words. She had expected something like this, but she never expected Layla to be so ruthless as to lake her illness just for her to die.
Now, Caroline finally understood just how far Layla could go and how cruel she could be.
âCaroline?â Sean asked, concerned because of her silence.
He had planned to tell Kirk about this once he was done investigating it. This way, Kirk could be the one to tell her this shocking piece of information, It just so happened that this final doctor who joined hands with Layla was much too thickâheaded to tell him the truth. This was why Sean *15 BONUS âIâm fine.â Caroline let out a long sigh. Something like this could no longer hurt her. She would only become more ruthless when she dealt with Layla in return. 1 âSo Eddy knew nothing about this, right?
*Judging from the evidence, that is indeed the case,â Sean answered.
The realization dawned on Caroline, but she managed to fully calm herself down. âWhen can I get the evidence?â
Sean looked at the door to the basement and said, âI still have one last person to deal with. You can get the evidence by tomorrow, I think.â
âOkay. Can you pass it to me before the election is complete?â
âWhat time will it end?â
âAbout 10:00 am.â
âSure.â
Upon hearing his answer, Caroline felt her entire being relax. Staring out the window, she found herself looking forward to tomorrow.
